Cheney: No Link between Saddam and 9/11...and I support Gay Marriage!

[SuperTrouper]

He strongly defended the Bush administration's decision to invade Iraq, however, arguing that Hussein's previous support for known terrorists was a serious danger after 9/11.

Cheney, in an appearance at the National Press Club, also said he is intent on speaking out in defense of the Bush administration's national security record because "a clear understanding of policies that worked is essential."

"I do not believe and have never seen any evidence to confirm that was involved in 9/11. We had that reporting for a while, eventually it turned out not to be true," Cheney conceded.

Former Vice President Dick Cheney once again parted ways with his conservative compadres on the hot topic of gay marriage, saying people -- gay or straight -- should be free to pursue any type of union they wish.

"I think that freedom means freedom for everyone," said Cheney, whose daughter, Mary, has publicly admitted she's a lesbian.

"As many of you know, one of my daughters is gay and it is something we have lived with for a long time in our family," Cheney said Monday at the Gerald R. Ford Foundation journalism awards at the National Press Club.

"I think people ought to be free to enter into any kind of union they wish. Any kind of arrangement they wish," the former vice president said, according to the the Huffington Post reported.

It looks like Cheney is not ready to move on with his life. He seems to be constantly on TV and of course, the media whores are giving him all the coverage that he wants. :mad:

4. isn't it etiquette for former POTUS and vice presidents to shut up

and not criticize the present ones?

5. I just saw him on Greta and almost fell off the chair

when he spoke up for gay marriage citing his daughter who he said is in a long term relationship.

Will wonders never cease.........

6. Trying to appeal to the jury pool

Maybe he is figuring that, statistically speaking, he is likely to get atleast one gay on his jury.

8. "it is something we have lived with for a long time in our family"?? Strange wording, no?

Usually an expression of "what we have had to put up with."
